Mantis

Mantis, originally uploaded by M. Rosenberg.

Saw this here praying mantis sitting on my fence. I think (s)he was just as interested in me as I was in him (her).

Photograph was taken with a 200mm telephoto lens. There wasn't anything interesting in the background, so I added two layers of textures to give it a little more depth. I would have liked to have gotten a bit more detail on the mantis itself, but it is what it is.
